Promote! Promote! Promote!
There is no such thing as too much promotion! Anyone who tells you to promote less is at best ignorant of the importance of promotion and at worst has evil intentions towards you and your business.
You cannot build a business without promotion. If the volume of your promotion is so great that people are getting annoyed by it then it means you are either targeting the wrong audience, your messaging is not as relevant as it ought to be or you are actually starting to get people’s attention.
It is very common for promotional campaigns to target the wrong audience and get messaging wrong and you should continually work to ensure this is not the case.
Complaints about too much promotion typically come from those people who don’t want you to succeed and the more you promote and the more successful you become the more noise they will make. If you are not getting complaints you are probably not promoting hard enough.
So the key then to getting more out of your eCommerce store is to do everything you can to promote, including …
- Build your email database and sent emails often
- Grow your social media followings and post regularly
- Advertise on relevant platforms where your audience is
- Establish relationships with partners, influences, resellers and affiliates and look after them
- Collect testimonials and reviews from your customers and make their experience so good that they tell all their friend sand family about you.
Optimizing your eCommerce store and promoting in high volume are the two most successful strategies you can employ to get more out of your eCommerce store.
Obviously, one assumes you have established a stand-out brand and your branding is up to scratch and consistent and you have chosen great products.
